Yuwei reported that plain reuse of DELAY_PROBE_TIME to rearm work queue in neigh_managed_work is problematic if user explicitly configures the DELAY_PROBE_TIME to 0 for a neighbor table. Such misconfig can then hog CPU to 100% processing the system work queue. Instead, set lower interval bound to HZ which is totally sufficient. Yuwei is additionally looking into making the interval separately configurable from DELAY_PROBE_TIME.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
